Good news to Bran rice!

Bran, along with the germ is an important part of the whole grain. It contains dietary fibres, phytonutrients – Oryzanol, Tocopherol and more. In the past, all the potential of this bit of the grain couldn’t be completely utilized owing to the rancidity brought in, which was always a risk back in the day. That was also the primary reason for it to be always removed from the rest of the grain as long-time, long-distance transport of the grain was not possible if the bran was still attached. But currently, thanks to numerous stabilization procedures available currently, it is possible to come up with a number of health promoting products derived from bran rice.
